Register to Vote by October 18

September 28, 2011

Dear Rutgers Students:

The political process needs you. Issues you care about, including tuition rates, job prospects, and health care, are determined through that process. For that reason, I encourage you to register and vote. On November 8, every seat in the New Jersey State Legislature is up for election. Make your voice heard on the issues you care about by registering to vote—and then voting.

If you are a citizen of the United States and will be 18 years of age before Election Day, you are eligible to register for this election. The deadline to register in New Jersey is October 18, 2011. Please remember that if you are a residential student and want to vote in your campus community, you must be registered with your current campus address.
